Since
1868 Swiss watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen has been creating
masterpieces of haute horlogerie that combine precision engineering with
exclusive design. Over the years, their straightforward, no-nonsense
style has appealed to adventurers far and wide—especially pilots.
With its dashing blue dial, this Portugieser Annual Calendar watch by IWC will make a unique addition to your collection.
Its robust offerings include an
annual calendar at 12 where you can read the month, date, and day of the
week. At 3 there is a subdial that displays this watch’s impressive
7-day power reserve, as well as Arabic numerals and a minute track.
IWC’s caliber 52850, which beats at
28,800 vph, possesses 36 jewels, and provides hacking seconds via the
small seconds subdial at 9, can be seen in all its glory via an
exhibition case back.

44.2 mm in diameter, 14.9 mm in height, and rests upon a black alligator
leather strap with a stainless steel deployant buckle. Additional
